My Age of Investment

Four hundred and five, Tesla's C round of financing

"Compare, why not compare?"

Xia Jingxing said without hesitation, "I'm really hoping that they will hurry up to take on the challenge, and then we can hold a grand race on the New Nordschleife and broadcast it live to users all over the world.

In addition, you can also send a few YouTube video bloggers to explain on the spot.

For the full version of the video, you can also transfer the network copyright to Youtube.

With this wave of enthusiasm, maybe it can attract a wave of new users to YouTube. "

The foreign girl laughed "haha" on the other end of the phone, "This is what you said to me, "One fish eats more", isn't it too careful?"

"After everything has been done, we must consider maximizing its benefits."

Xia Jingxing looked confident. In fact, after the start of this network marketing, it has been running along the track he designed, with almost no major deviations.

The foreign girl murmured: "If Ferrari and Lamborghini take the challenge, is Tesla better or not?

than, may lose;

No, it may be worse than losing, because you started the matter first, and the Internet public opinion was also stirred up. At the last moment, you didn't compare, which would make many netizens feel disappointed and turn to Tesla. slam and smear. "

Xia Jingxing knew the seriousness of the problem that Yang Niu said, and replied: "Don't worry, no matter who the opponent is, we will not admit cowardice.

In fact, I think they may not be very good at the challenge, because winning will not do them much good, and defeating a car company that has only been established for three years is nothing to show off.

And if you lose, hehe, I'm afraid there must be a senior executive to be the scapegoat. "

The foreign girl thinks it makes sense. She believes that many car companies should have noticed Tesla's touch porcelain marketing.

If you agree to compete with Tesla, wouldn't it be tantamount to helping Tesla in marketing in disguise.

If it still loses to Tesla, the brand will still be dusty, which may affect a certain amount of car sales.

"If you really want to compete, you must not leave the field and find professional racing athletes to do it for you!

I have seen pictures of the New Nordschleife. There are cliffs everywhere, steep roads and very dangerous.

And the speed of the racing car is so fast, if you are not careful, there may be... a car accident. "

Xia Jingxing could hear Yang Niu's concern for him, and comforted him, "You can just rest assured, how could I be so stupid as to play by myself?

If you want to go, you have to be the CEO, Eberhard.

Don't look at the little old man's age, he has a good car. "

Hearing that Xia Jingxing didn't plan to take part in the race car in person, Yang Niu breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that her boyfriend would be young and energetic, and would like to show off, so she would go racing by herself.

Racing is a dangerous thing. In the difficult geographical environment of the New North Circuit, the risk factor is magnified countless times.

"Well, I won't talk anymore, I'm busy with work."

After finishing speaking, the foreign girl hung up the phone in a hurry.

Today is the first day that Twitter is online, and she still has a lot of company affairs to deal with.

Xia Jingxing hung up the phone and returned to the office where Eberhard and Tarpenning were.

When Xia Jing walked in, the two were discussing something in a low voice.

Seeing Xia Jingxing appear, they quickly stopped the discussion.

"What are you talking about? So happy?"

Xia Jingxing didn't pretend that he didn't hear, but asked directly.

"It's nothing, we are discussing, if there are car companies to fight, who should we send to the field."

Eberhard smiled and said: "We have unanimously decided that you should be sent on the field, Darren.

In addition to being younger, more agile, and with faster neural reactions, you are also the initiator of this challenge, and your reputation is even greater.

If you play, the role and influence will be the greatest. "

Tarpenning nodded and echoed, "That's right, Darren, you are a successful entrepreneur and the youngest billionaire in the world.

You have your own topic, and if you participate in the competition, it is definitely better than placing a 100 million advertisement. "

Xia Jingxing: "..."

"No, I have a little backache these two days, so I may not be suitable for driving."

Xia Jingxing has always cherished life, so it's fine to run on a spacious and flat car track, but let's forget about the track on the cliff and mountainous area.

Through the experience of his previous life, he understood a truth, you are the real winner only if you fight to the end, otherwise you are just three feet of loess.

What kind of imperial dominance is just a joke.

Seeing Xia Jingxing's embarrassment, the two laughed "haha".

Tarpenning said with a smile: "Daren, I'm just kidding you, how could we be willing to let you become a racing driver.

You are now a great contributor to Tesla. Even if we two old men go to drive a racing car, they will not send you to the race. "

Eberhard nodded, "That's right, Darren, the internet marketing you planned is great.

In my opinion, it is worth at least 100 million!

Now the entire United States is discussing our Tesla, and young people are proud of owning a Tesla. "

Xia Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief, damn it, he really thought that the two of them were going to send him to the New Nordschleife.

"How many cars are sold now?"

He quickly changed the subject and asked about car sales.

Tarpenning nodded, "A total of 32 cars were sold on the first day of the auto show the day before yesterday, 10 cars were sold in the morning, and more people came in the afternoon, and 22 cars were sold all at once.

It was really good yesterday, and 55 cars were sold all day.

It is said that many people came by plane from the East Coast and wanted to come and order a Tesla.

This is thanks to Darren, I read those newspapers that report on Tesla, and half of them are discussing you. "

Eberhard nodded, this has to be admitted, Xia Jingxing is quite a well-known entrepreneur in Silicon Valley.

He invested in Tesla and was interviewed by reporters. The effect is no less than hiring a celebrity spokesperson.

Compared with celebrity spokespersons, Xia Jingxing founded Facebook at the age of 18 and became a multi-billion dollar tycoon in three years is even more legendary.

The success of Facebook has also invisibly endorsed Tesla.

Now that the two companies are bundling marketing, this kind of endorsement has been used to the extreme.

Others now mention Tesla.

The first reaction was: oh, the electric car company invested by the founder of Facebook even said that it would beat traditional car companies.

Xia Jingxing only made an appearance on the first day of the auto show, and on the second day he concentrated on planning Tesla's online marketing and did not go to the auto show.

After listening to Tarpenning's introduction, he nodded, "Good results, 87 cars were sold in the two days of the auto show.

Originally we expected to sell only 40 cars, but now sales have more than doubled. "

Eberhard shook his head and laughed, "Daren, there are more than 87 cars. Today, many entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley have made consultation calls, asking about our "Founders Series" and wanting to order one.

At present, 30 founder series have been sold, each for 200,000 US dollars, which helped us get back 6 million US dollars of funds. "

Tarpenning smiled, the founder series was also a gimmick created by Xia Jingxing.

For this reason, Bill Gates and Bezos were also recruited for endorsement, and the advertising effect was immediate.

A large number of Silicon Valley entrepreneurs have ideas about this car and want to own the same sports car as Bill Gates and Bezos.

This is a symbol of status and a manifestation of strength, the only magic weapon to pretend to be coercive.

As for the high price of 200,000 US dollars, no one cares too much about it.

Through this incident, Eberhard and Tarpenning also saw the extensive network behind Xia Jingxing.

Although he is a Chinese, he has flourished in the American technology circle, which is amazing.

"Oh, I have something to tell you."

When Eberhard mentioned the Founder Series, Xia Jingxing remembered an important matter and needed to communicate with the two of them.

"What's the matter?" Eberhard asked.

"Cascade Investment (Waterfall Investment), Bezos (Bezos Venture Capital), their two investment institutions intend to invest in Tesla."

Xia Jingxing explained to the two: "Mr. Bill Gates and Mr. Bezos did not help in vain, they both intend to participate in Tesla's C round of financing.

Of course, they don't ask much for the share, and the symbolic meaning is greater than the actual meaning. "
